Source: Old Versus New Traffic Safety Paradigms

To quote from the article:

“This issue is, of course, complex. Vehicle travel reductions are not the only way to reduce crashes — traditional traffic safety strategies are also important, and the two approaches are often complementary. For example, many targeted traffic safety strategies such as graduated driver’s licenses, special driver’s tests for seniors and anti-impaired driving campaigns become more effective and politically acceptable if implemented with multimodal planning, TDM incentives and Smart Growth policies so youths, seniors and drinkers can find convenient alternatives to driving.”
